We never really thought this would happen!
This is a little over an hour from my house.

Yes it's a little over an hour from my house. They posted several pics on FB. We have been waiting for this for a long time.

I wonder if they will have the machines paying good right now to suck us in?

Kim, is this the casino that was closed down and has been in litigation? Where is it located in Texas?

[ChellesBelles]

Used to travel through there quite often. Maybe this is the start of more TX casinos? Fingers crossed for a long honeymoon period for you once it opens!

Yes that's the one. The address is Livingston,TX. That's the closest town.
That screen shot was from their Facebook page.

That's what I'm hoping for ! We will go check out the soft opening for sure. I'm off on Friday so maybe then!

Kim this sounds like a small Class 2 Bingo style machine set-up. Hope you like it or learn to tolerate it for when you need to scratch the gambling itch. I stopped going to the one here in Madison, WI cause it is to frustrating. I have a lot of Class 3 casinos within 2 hours so I would rather play at one of them. Good Luck if you go & tell DH that this Packers Fan says hey.

Yes that's exactly what it is. From the pics they posted on FB it looks like they have crowded the machines very close together. So we will see. I'm hoping they have some red screen machines since it seems that people do well on those. We consider Coushatta our home casino and that's over 3 hours away with the ones in Lake Charles just a little closer. So hopefully it will be a fun place to spend a couple hours every now and then.

I will tell him for sure !

Looks like it just north of Houston on the Trinity River ...365 Type II MACHINES ..Let us know how ya do KimKyle..

[Brandon]

Good luck! Please report back, I am anxious to hear how it goes!

[peggy]

Kim, I never went there when it was open before, but I know of people who did.There were times you had to wait outside just to go in and then if you wanted to play a machine you just about had to play whatever no one was playing at the time.I hope they get the OK to enlarge it and make it bigger.

Yep just up 59 to Livingston. I will report in for sure

Thanks Brandon! I don't see any red lucky ducks in the pics. Maybe you can pic them out. Look up Alabama Coushatta tribe on FB if you want to see. I will let y'all know for sure.

[Brandon]

I checked them out and I do think I see some VGT $1 machines in one of the pics on the right wall.

I never went there before either. I'm sure it will be very crowded. We called and they said they are open 24/7 but NO alcohol so maybe that will discourage some people. I hope so!

I will! It's small but I hope it will be somewhere to go so a couple of hours of fun. We will see.

No alcohol means 18 year olds are welcome.

I hope not. We deal with 18 year olds at Winstar and it's a huge pain.

Ok this place is open now and went up to check it out this morning.

It is super, super small, but nice. You walk right in and get your card and it opens into the non-smoking room. Some doors open into the smoking room which I think is backwards because people will come in smoking.

The machines are all clones of ones we know. 88 fortunes, Mustang Money, China Shores(ish), MooLaLa, etc. Most with slightly different names.Some poker machines and high limit reels. I played the dollar reels hoping that they were red screen machines ( I couldn't tell), but I never got more than a cherry.

We won a little and then played it all back - so typical trip. There is a free coke/coffee station and an in house restaurant that we didn't try.

It's just an 1:15 from my house so it will be a fun place for an evening out or a short Sunday morning trip like today.

Here's one pic from a bonus

Thanks Kim, I use to go years ago. I don't like the drive on 59, once out of Houston though it's a nice ride. Was it crowded at the time you went?

No, we went very early this morning and it was almost empty. The new Grand Parkway runs right by my neighborhood so we jumped on that and got to 59 really quick so it was an easy drive. But 59 through town is awful, I agree.

Thanks Brandon, I think so to, but I forgot to look at the brand. I tried them just a bit but never even got a line hit. When I looked at the pays it only showed the bingo patterns, so I wasn't sure.

[RiverSong]

Early like 9:00am KimKyle. Also, what is a red screen?

VGT wasn't one of the manufacturers that I heard they have... I did hear they have some Castle Hill Gaming http://www.castlehillgaming.com/ Castle Hill Gaming was started by some ex VGT folks and the games look very similar. Not sure how similar they play, but I would guess pretty close.

No we got there about 7. We were up early and wanted to see it without a crowd.

A red screen is the bonus feature in those VGT class 2 machines we play in Oklahoma.

Thanks Warren . That's the ones they have. I forgot to look at manufacturers but I will next time.

It's interesting they were allowed to reopen, but I probably wouldn't go. I'm not a fan of Class II bingo machines anyways. Can't wait to hear how they do though in the first few months.
